Eighth grade Kilmer students Aly Luckett, Jordan Ganley, Dhriti Vij, Ryan Gottwald, Andy Zhao and Arthur Tisseront attended a lecture at Kilmer Middle School's partner, Noblis, in Falls Church by Dr. John Moore, a professor from the MIT Media Lab in Boston. His thought-provoking lecture gave 40 students from Kilmer, Thomas Jefferson and Bishop O'Connell as well members of NOBLIS, the Governor of Maine and other notable figures from the Military, a look into the future of how medical care may be delivered differently in the future, and specifically how the doctor/patient relationship is poised for change in the next decade.
Kilmer students were, in fact, officially recognized and applauded by the host at Noblis who stated that "we have students from our partnership school, Kilmer Middle School, here today: Please stand up! I understand that these students were a part of the Virginia State National Science Olympiad Team! Let's give them a round of applause!"
